High Performance
Single Use Pulse Lavage

Flexibility for efficient joint arthroplasty and trauma surgery
With its ease of use and effective cleaning, the
Single Use Pulse Lavage offers efficiency and
convenience throughout the application, resulting
in potential reduced risk of revisions for the
patient.
Pulsative lavage systems are being used with
increasing frequency for total joint replacement.
Several studies show that with high pressure
pulse lavage, the cement penetration is increased.
One of the main purposes for using high pressure
pulsative lavage systems is to remove blood
and debris during joint arthroplasty.
The Single Use Pulse Lavage system is used to
clean the bone bed and soft tissue during the
joint arthroplasty and trauma surgery.

Improved clinical outcome
with high pressure pulse lavage

Clean Bone Bed – Improved
bone cement interface
Effective bone bed preparation is one of the corner
stones in Modern Cementing Technique. According
to the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register the use of
Modern Cementing Technique can lead to a signifi-
cant reduction in the risk of revision.

Effective cleaning for
optimal micro-interlock
A clean bone cavity, achieved with high pressure pulse
lavage, ensures better cement penetration than with
syringe lavage.This improves the quality of the bone
cement interface, reduces the risk of blood lamination
and enhances the mechanical strength of the cement.

High pressure pulse lavage
High pressure pulse lavage is a vital step towards achieving
proper cement penetration and fixation into the
cancellous bone.
High pressure pulse lavage has proven to be
advantageous in removing debris and bone arrow
from bone bed compared to syringes.
It improves cement penetration and may also reduce
the risk of embolic complications in joint replacement.
Clinical studies have shown that the use of high
pressure pulse lavage in total joint replacements may
reduce the risk of revisions caused by aseptic loosening.

Reduced risk of fat embolism
High pressure pulse lavage used repeatedly
during the cleaning sequence may prevent
microembolisation of the marrow contents and
significantly minimizes circulatory changes.
The result of removing medullary content has been
proven both experimentally and clinically to reduce risk of
fat embolism. Not only the volume, but also the pressure
of pulse lavage, influences the risk of fat embolism.
